No. But I have entered Saberlord's Scritchascratch Cakemonger The Cheat in plenty! That's his show name acourse. Oh yeah, The Cheat's got papers. He's won Best in Sheen four years in a row!
{cut to Strong Bad and Strong Mad rubbing The Cheat with glazed doughnuts}
STRONG BAD: Sit still! There's three dozen more where that came from. Last year was way too close a race. This year we need a secret weapon. Strong Mad, hand me the Bavarian Cream!
THE CHEAT: {sighs}
{cut to Strong Sad brushing The Cheat in the laundry room}
STRONG SAD: And I told him, if you want to show up thirty minutes late, {The Cheat responds} he can find someone else. Because my time is valuable. Mm-hmm. I'm takin' these night classes, gonna get an education... {The Cheat responds. Strong Sad holds up a mirror} Does the back look okay?
{cut to Strong Bad's basement. Strong Bad and The Cheat are on the couch, with Strong Mad looking over the back.}
STRONG BAD: With a rusty fork and a guitar string. Good response! Me too, actually. All right, what if they ask you about the world situation?
THE CHEAT: Meh.
STRONG BAD: "Meh"! Classic! That'll really knock 'em dead. {cut to closeup of Strong Bad} Especially that stodgy old Madam Bodewell. That lady has it in for us. {back to the three on the couch} Just because you peed on her dress that one time.
STRONG MAD: I'M SORRY.
{cut to gold plated Cat Mess trophy with bags of Cat Mess along the side}
ANNOUNCER: Welcome back to the Cat Mess Inbredtational Pet Show, {fade into the gym where the contest is taking place, panning along the table} where the hotly contest Best In Sheen competition is just getting underway! {camera stops on Marzipan and Homestar}
HOMESTAR: Oh, man, Marzipan. We're going to clean house this year. {two-shot} We're going to clean apartment! We're going to clean dorm room. We're going to clean time share! {Marzipan puts a leash on Homestar}
{cut Strong Bad and The Cheat}
STRONG BAD: All right, The Cheat. This is going to be a piece of cake for you. This is going to be a piece of pie! This is gonna be a piece of cobbler! This gonna be a piece of novelty dessert pizza! Now get out there and do your thing! {The Cheat dashes off}
{montage of The Cheat: The Cheat puts a drop of Puke Drops into Mme. Bodewell's water; distracts Pom Pom with a pinup girl and then he breaks Trivia Time; gnaws on The King Of Town's low fat grill's power cord; dances with a sign that says "Dance Competition?"}

{cut back to Strong Bad and The Cheat, Homestar enters from the left with the leash still on and hold in the trophy}
HOMESTAR: Well, well, Strong Bad. Looks like you finally got a taste of your own medicine. Taste of your own potion. Taste of your own elixir! Taste of your own— {The Cheat throws an object at Homestar and he falls down}
{cut back to the Lappy}
STRONG BAD: {typing} Don't worry, we're currently appealing the decision of the judges. We're also currently a-peeling {pull back to a wider shot with The Cheat peeling in a pile of potatoes} POTATOES! {Strong Bad jumps into the pile and a banner and confetti comes down}
{The New Paper comes down and the screen darkens}
{after a short pause}
STRONG BAD: Hey, The Cheat. Do you think we successfully glossed over the fact we lost the competition?

STRONG BAD: Man, is there anything that potatoes can't do?
